(a) Representative montage of images of WT and ∆ess cells after a TDL long-pulse labeling. The phase contrast (PC), the TDL channels and the merged image (Merge) are shown. Scale bars, 2 µm. (b) Violin SuperPlots showing the distribution of the TDL fluorescence intensity for WT and ∆ess cells after a long period of TDL labeling from three independent experiments, (n = 2000 cells for each strain). ***p < 0.001.
